Upon Shadows new single out NOW!

 

Our new single is called "Virtus Dormitiva" and was released the 18 of October /2021!

Press release: 

Dark Metal Female duo Upon Shadows announced a new single entitled "Virtus Dormitiva" released the 18 of October/2021 !

In a mix between Extreme Metal and Dark Ambient, with strong presence of keyboards and synthesizers to create a sinister and melancholic atmosphere, “Virtus Dormitiva” shows the essence of Upon Shadows music, while recited, sung and guttural voices come and go to emphasize the emotionality and drama of the lyrics.

“Something special about this song is that it was the first time I played and recorded the drums myself, which marks the beginning of a new stage for me as a musician”. says Tamara Picardo.

About the concept of the song:

“Inspired by the comedy "The Imaginary Sick" (Le malade imaginaire) by Moliere (1673).

I take the expression "Virtus Dormitiva" as a metaphor to define the state of continuous drowsiness in which we find ourselves submerged. This state of drowsiness is generated by everyday life, day-to-day worries, fatigue, monotony, the pressure of social mandates (what is expected of us), obligations (work, subsistence), the feeling that we have to be super productive all the time (self-enslavement). The pressure of the media mixing news with entertainment, constantly bombarding the same topics, creating and imposing the "common sense." The unification of the masses under this "common sense" is like a giant wave that crushes individualities and leaves behind a uniform mass, generic and dead in ideas and passions”. Explains Tamara Picardo

"Virtus Dormitiva" was mixed and mastered by Mika Pohjola at Soundmix recording studio, Oulu, Finland in September 2021 and will be available on music platforms starting next October 18th.

10 years of Upon Shadows "Melodies In Grey Scale" !

On Monday is going to be 10 years of Upon Shadows "Melodies In Grey Scale".

The album was digitally released in October 18th/2010 but the physical edition was released by Satanica records (NZ), in Feb. 22/2011.

This is a very important album for me, because that was when I started recording all the guitars by myself, and together with Natalia Arocena we consolidated as a duo. (Before - from 2002 -2009 - we were three, and the guitar was in charge of Marcelo Aguilar, although the composition of the songs in their entirety was always mine). Stay safe and try to keep the flame alive! Tamara.

El álbum fue lanzado digitalmente el 18 de octubre de 2010, pero la edición física fue lanzada por Satanica Records (NZ), el 22 de febrero de 2011.

Este es un disco muy importante para mí, porque fue entonces cuando empecé a grabar todas las guitarras por mi cuenta, y junto a Natalia Arocena nos consolidamos como dúo. (Antes - de 2002 a 2009 - éramos tres, y la guitarra estaba a cargo de Marcelo Aguilar, aunque la composición de las canciones en su totalidad siempre fue mía).
